FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious hiking?
The XT-6 Expanse is designed for light trail use and urban environments. For serious or technical hiking, a shoe with more robust support and protection may be more appropriate.
How do I clean the anti-debris mesh?
Use a soft brush to gently remove any dirt or debris from the mesh. If needed, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying.
What is the drop value and its significance?
The drop value is 10 mm, which is a moderate heel-to-toe drop. This typically provides a balance of cushioning and responsiveness for various activities.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the Mud ContaGRIP outsole offers good traction on wet surfaces, the synthetic and textile upper is not fully waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to wetness inside.
What is the difference between XT-6 and XT-6 Expanse?
The XT-6 Expanse line often focuses on bringing outdoor-inspired aesthetics and performance into everyday urban life, while maintaining the core performance features of the original XT-6.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a comfortable space at the front of the shoe for your toes and that the heel does not slip. The regular lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. Consider replacing laces with a grippier material if the issue persists.
Slight discomfort during initial wear
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the lacing is not too tight.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the Mud ContaGRIP outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. For extremely slick surfaces, exercise caution.
Material feels stiff
The synthetic and textile upper will soften with wear. Gentle flexing of the shoe and short wear periods will help expedite this process.
